Hetoreyn
Jay
Born in England in 1978, Hetoreyn's interest in film music began when he was very young. He got inspired by watching many different films and absorbing the music of Jerry Goldsmith, John Barry, and John Williams. At the age of 16 he decided to write his first music piece, having learned the piano himself. Playing his favourite melodies by ear he began to learn about writing score and then enrolled at the Weston-super-mare (UK) technical college. Here he learned studio techniques and all about sequencing that would propel him into a bigger world of writing. He completed college diplomas in BTEC Performing Arts and Music Tech.

While working for two years as Chief Composer and Engineer at Bristol Television and Film Services (BTFS) in Bristol (UK), he composed music for two feature films and various other music projects, see below. During that time he also started own and commercial compositions and productions. First starting with synthesizers, he wrote music for the popular web series "Deep Angel". And then he moved on to a new classical and romantic palette with the work on the first album of his Elven Moods series. A quantum leap in efficiency and quality in his compositions was reached in 2004 with the use of the Vienna Symphonic Library. A popular Podcast on this technique has found many listeners. Since 2005 Hetoreyn has created a one of a kind palette of orchestral music for film, TV and Internet, and he has published 6 albums, which have been aired on radio stations and Internet Radio around the world. His technical profession is well requested besides composition, with services like orchestration, digital studio set up and sound engineering.
